Best No Way Poems
Locked behind these prison bars
Hiding all these deep painful scars
Alone with my heartbroken fraternity
Sentenced to serve time for all eternity
Daydreaming of forever breaking free
Lusting for love, a heartbeat, for me
Cold, this bed, this floor, this breath
Without you, my love, what is left?
Hiding behind lies, not guilty disguise
Raining burning tears behind these eyes
Forgiveness comes too little to late
Handcuffed, soul starved, to die with fate
The story's written, dripping down on the page
Shelter me from this storm, unholy is this rage
Only one way out, of body, from behind bars.
Tasting the freedom released from these scars.

In a blue morning sky
I watched her going
As she turned to say goodbye
Her strawberry auburn hair still blowing
In this heart deep inside
Inside her smile....
Where her love shall reside
These tears not knowing
That our time in this place
A place that left us
With a rose petal trace....
While seasons passed by
Now alone, to fade away
Her strawberry auburn hair still blowing
Across her dark chocolate eyes
Her spirit going....
And I can't find a verse
To say I'm sorry
For this chance unrehearsed
Where beauty found us
In the still of the night....
When words were whispered
From two souls that collide
But now their parting
These dreams....
In a black darkened hearse
That calendars carried
To this day in reverse
No way of knowing
While she turns back again
Her driver waiting....
As I then drop my hand
And watch her going
On the breeze that brought her here
Her beauty leaving
Water marks upon this heart
Which let her walk on....
Before these tear brim filled skies
These eyes which held her
In the still loving nights
Where flowers blossomed
This song deep inside
Two souls colliding....
On a path drawn for life
A life now fading
With these dreams that we shared
That see her going
Before she turns to say goodbye
Afore this knowing....
Dark shadowed sky
Her beauty lingers
As I then sweep these eyes
Inside her smiles
Now frozen tears....
I watch her leaving
While we both, wave goodbye

No way of telling?
My ex-wife thought I was being funny,
when I proposed again calling her honey.
All she had to say,
was ‘never; no way!’
She believed I’m just after my money.
There's no way I'm giving up on you
We've been together-seems like forever
it's been sublime spending my life with you
In our existence- there is a distance
There's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!
I can't forget- the way you left
there was no life living without you
Such strange delusions- with no solutions
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!
Bridge
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!
Time keeps flowing- the years keep showing,
all the damage that this life can do
In love's deep ocean-there lies devotion
My hearts aching as I think of you
'Cause I still love you!
Bridge
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
My hearts aching as I think of you
but, there's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!
Repeat bridge and fade

please meet me half way
time after time waiting there
a tree held our names
the path became over grown
we cannot find our way back...
I REFUSE TO LET YOU STEAL MY JOY I REFUSE TO LET YOU RAIN ON MY PARADE.
SO YOU CAN CARRY ON WITH YOU PETTY CHARADE.
YOU SEEK NEGATIVITY TO SECURE YOUR INNER-SELF TO BE LIFTED UP BY YOUR EGO.
TO HELP IT GROW INTO A MONSTER THAT NO ONE CAN CONTAIN NOT EVEN YOU.
FOR MY DAYS ARE BRIGHT AND SUNNY NOT DARK AND CLOUDY.
I AM WALKING INTO A BEAUTIFUL SUNLIGHT THAT IS FOR ME TO STAND ON.
I WILL NOT LET YOU STEP ON ME I WILL NOT LET YOU PULL ME DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL.
NO WAY NO HOW AM I GOING TO BE YOUR TARGET OF HARASSMENT.
NO LONGER WILL I BE THAT LITTLE GIRL THAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN PICK ON.
NO WAY NO HOW AN I GOING TO BE A PUNCHING BAG YOUR OUTLET FRUSTRATION.
SO GET UP OFF ME AND LET ME BE OH I FORGOT YOU CAN'T YOU ARE SO CAUGHT UP IN WHAT I AM DOING.
THAT'S YOU HAVE LOST YOURSELF ALONG THE WAY.
BUT I AM PRESSING ON AHEAD TO A BRIGHTER DAY.
When it comes to doing the right thing by ratting on the enemies and/or whatnot, these
people have no regrets. When it comes to dating and writing poems of their own, there's no
turning back. And when it comes to getting into positive situations in life, there's no
way out. These type of things have been like that since day one, especially way before we
were born. For one, having no regrets mean he or she has done nothing wrong. The second
part is when he or she's planning on doing something out of the ordinary like going
sky-diving, snowboarding, or whatever, there's no turning back for them. And when it comes
to doing the right thing like giving back to the community, trying to prevent disasters
from happening day in and day out, there's no way out of those great situations. Seems as
though God has been watching all of us human beings for some time to come, even after the
Earth was created. The best thing about not making a lot of regrets in life is when he or
she's got a free spirit and a pure heart. Well, I guess good fortune will happen to the
ones who don't have selfish agendas or whatever. And if these people keep up doing the
right thing for their communities and stuff, there's no telling what positive thing might
happen next. And just like I said: "No Regrets, No Turning Back, and No Way Out."
For a diet there’s a number of clauses,
and natural food brings many applause's,
so for veggies I yearned,
until I soon learned,
most of us die from natural causes.
When life
seems all
hopeless
still don't
you loose
all
scope of
hope
for there's
this thing
dangling
in the air
Reach out
for God's
sturdy
rope.
For how
sure can
you be
that
death will
take you
to a
better fate
What if
you are
plunged
into a
plight
much
worse
where
there's no
turning
back at
any rate!
You too
haven't
been
infallible
and above
all
blame
that you
wish for a
perfect
rosy life
The
excuses
for suicide
are usually
so lame
better
enjoy your
share
even so in
strife.
Donot
friend,
plan to
commit
this act
just to
invoke
another's
pity and
regret
The pity
and regret
will
come and
go
besides it
soothes
no
decomposed
and a large
slice of
your life
may go
wasted.
Why rush for thy grave,
for greater gloom
Suicide's ain't a way out
fellow human friend
Pray a godless way not
send you unto this doom
You haven't right to bring
any life to its end.
And it's probable that all
those years
that you now wish to
recklessly discard in dust
have something bright
ahead, got to be a ray of
hope
Extinguish it not if in God
you trust!
We all know someone who has been depressed before.
We might have experienced depression ourselves. Being stressed out has become a integral part of life for many. Possibly we are withdrawn and feeling numb inside. Stress can be a result of many everyday occurrences. Financial problems, getting in debt or overextended, is a stressor most of us have shared with millions. The loss of a loved one, a marriage or breakup is a common stressor. A change in circumstances, an eviction notice or your home being foreclosed upon, car repossessed and homelessness have become commonplace as well. Going through bankruptcy, a pay cut, layoff at work or having to suspend further education due to lack of funds has touched many lives. These stressors are not rare but as a community we see them happening daily. Society as a whole expects us to just move on and deal with these ups and downs with little or no effect on our mental and physical well being. I specifically use these terms, because often this toll greatly effects the individual and then is ignored. As we take our health for granted and are ashamed of the stigma attached to any kind of mental health issue, we overlook the consequences of everyday stress.
bar the girly man
keep california out side
florida's gates strong
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No simile will be an apt story there
How the sky splashed the color within
Yet, his eyes and the depth of the blue, unfolding for a numerous times
In my wandering thoughts as the twilight is fading through the covetous time
And the days are a passing sory, long gone is she
And there, darkness settles in , slowly,
again and again
And the night blossoms in mayflower
As the stars fade away.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
Only, the other day, his love
Yard had a walkway, where she touched the grass
Hiding the handheld lamp
Along this way, she walked, and she had her lantern, too.
In darkness with the stories behind
Her face had a glow, in similitude
As an island in isolation, in an oceanic pulchritude
And here I am, now, facing the seashore
Waves and waves , they sound in uproar
And touch the land, only to return in shear grace of mother nature
And the seashore remain their broken dreams, a foamy dense moment, they clutter
As they know me now, in goodness, and they wished for me to be better
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
No way to return, no ways
From eyes, his deep blue eyes.
There’s No Way To Win
By Elton Camp
Anything’s wrong in some folk’s eyes
Whatever you do, they will criticize
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
For any action you take, they’ll taunt
Try to be friendly instead of curt
“He’s nothing but an old flirt.”
But if you should hold aloof,
Of snobbery, they see proof
With your spending be wise
“What a miser” is no surprise
But if you spend and never save
“How irresponsible, they’ll rave
Speak against practices gay
“Homophobia,” they’ll say
But others’ view tolerate
“An evil man,” they berate
To people like that, I’ll tell
“Why don’t you just go to hell”
There is no way out for
a person who wants to give up.
Even if he wants too,
the way out is closed.
Maybe, the only way out is getting
into the chamber of no giving up.
Even though we knew it is difficult.
But it is only a matter of time
and actions upon it.
It doesn’t need for us to walk fast.
What matters, we are slowly walking,
until the destination is reached.
Start walking today.
If we don’t, until tomorrow comes,
nothing we could we ever achieve in one day,
except the change of time and day.
